Title: Great Harbour Deep Verse 1 Far beyond the winding roads, Where the northern ocean flowed, Great Harbour Deep stood proud and tall, A home with room enough for all. School bells rang through crisp sea air, Sunday voices filled with prayer. Wharves were busy, nets were drawn, Life began before the dawn. Chorus Great Harbour Deep, don't disappear, Your story's one we still hold dear. Though your streets have fallen still, Your spirit climbs each rocky hill. Great Harbour Deep, forever true, The sea still carries thoughts of you. Verse 2 The cod were fewer every year, The future wasn't looking clear. Without a road to reach the land, The town faced what it couldn't stand. In 2002 they made the choice, Each farewell with a breaking voice. One last ferry left the pier, Carrying generations' tears. Chorus Great Harbour Deep, don't disappear, Your story's one we still hold dear. Though your streets have fallen still, Your spirit climbs each rocky hill. Great Harbour Deep, forever true, The sea still carries thoughts of you. Bridge The church still watches o'er the bay, Though its congregation sailed away. Weathered homes and empty lanes, Stand against the wind and rain. Every gull that circles high, Seems to sing a soft goodbye. Every wave that finds the shore, Whispers, "Welcome home once more." Final Chorus Great Harbour Deep, your light remains, Beyond the fog and autumn rains. Though the harbor rests in quiet sleep, Our hearts still sail to Great Harbour Deep. Your name will never drift away, It lives upon the Newfoundland bay.
